Answer:10 gallons of 30% solution and 30 gallons of 70% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of the 30% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of the 70% solution that should be mixed.

The total number of gallons of the mixture to be made is 40. This means that

x + y = 40

The 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. This means that

0.3x + 0.7y = 0.6 × 40

0.3x + 0.7y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.3(40 - y) + 0.7y = 24

12 - 0.3y + 0.7y = 24

- 0.3y + 0.7y = 24 - 12

0.4y = 12

y = 12/0.4

y = 30

x = 40 - y = 40 - 30

x = 10

stiks02 [169]
The area needed is at least 170.5 ft².

Let w  =  the width of the rectangular area.
Because the length is 15.5 ft, therefore the calculated area should be at least 170.5 ft². That is
(15.5 ft)*(w ft) ≥ 170.5 ft²
w ≥ 170.5/15.5
w ≥ 11 ft

Answer:  w ≥ 11 ft

Given that the equation y=mx + b where m is 12 and the line passes through the point (-2,8), what would be the value of b?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be D. We can continue the line from the point (-2,8) because we know the slope so we will continue it forward by two on the x axis. Since we go forward by two we are going up by 24 (12*2) on the y axis so the y intercept (b) would be 8 + 24 which is 32. Sorry if it is hard to understand.

A. Jenna wants to buy a new tablet computer. Top Quality, an electronics store, is selling them at a 15% discount off the list p
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Cost = T - (15/100) * T

Cost = (85/100)*T

Part B

You are asked to take 15% off the cost of something. The first equation is very clear how to do that -- just take 15% of T away from T

The second part is not so obvious if you are not familiar with it, but the result will be the same.

Start with the first equation

Cost = T - (15/100) T  Change 1 T to 100 / 100

Cost = 100*T/100T - 15/100T

Cost = 85 /100 * T

Part C

Cost = Phone - 14            at Top quality.     Red in Graph below

Cost = 75/100 * Phone    at Big value.        Blue in Graph belos

The graph below is a good way to answer this. I won't solve it algebraically when the graph will give you a much better idea which phone to get.

Answer: Up to a phone cost of 55 dollars, the red phone is the better buy.

After 55$ the blue phone is better.

Try this with a couple of values for phone,
